Data Processing with NavVis IVION

The raw data from the NavVis MLX must be processed to generate a point cloud and panoramic images.

Data processing prepares your data for use in NavVis IVION, and other CAD or BIM software. You can

• Process in the cloud using NavVis IVION to generate the point cloud and panoramic images.

• Surveyed control points will correct distortions in the point cloud.

• After processing a Quality Report can be generated to get an overview of the quality of the processing.

During processing you can configure the settings of the point cloud output, including:

• Point cloud resolution.

• Point cloud file format.

• Point cloud filtering mode.

• Point cloud coloring.

• Maximum laser scanner range.

• Floor filling - The blind spot can be filled with image information, where the scanner is standing, when taking 360° images,

• Automatic detection and blurring of people’s faces.

• Automatic object detection.
